. Message en route: The phonograph record aboard each of the two Voyager spacecraft holds 115 images, natural and animal sounds, 90 minutes of music from different cultures and eras, and spoken greetings from Earth-people in 55 languages. Each record is encased in a protective aluminum jacket, together with a cartridge and a needle. Instructions, in symbolic language, explain the origin of the spacecraft and indicate how to play the record. NASA / JPL

. Quantum clock (atomic clock) - the time measuring device containing quartz generator, controlled by the quantum frequency standard . Atoms play a role of pendulum. The frequency of atoms radiation while the atoms passing from one energy level to another regulates the quantum clock. This frequency is so stable (error 10^-11 - 10^-13) that quantum clocks allow to calculate the time more exactly, then astronomic methods. Back .

The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...
